Life is short, t,
so make it a sport
to get rid of fear
and have a great year!
~ Soren Lauritzen ~, the Personal Development Guy

New Year is a time when we should be hoping that we have a great year, but buckling down for what we know is ahead. Bright-eyed optimism may tell you that you are going to find inner peace at last, or get the promotion, get the girl, get the new job, or get the life you always wanted this year, because THIS NEW YEAR is a magical year.

And then some killjoy comes along and tells you something like, "Oh, absolutely. This year will also see the return of pixies and unicorns to the world, the resurrection of Michael Jackson and Elvis, and of course a lot of wonderful flying pigs!"
!"

Such 'negative realism' is best dealt with by quoting the British statesman, motivational speaker, author, painter, Prime Minister and leader extraordinaire Sir Winston Churchill:

A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.
~ Winston Churchill ~

May you live in interesting times.
~ Chinese Greetings, Wishes - or Curses ~

The above quote is not a New Year wish per se, but you can use it as one if you want, and the Chinese wish is very, er, well, interesting. It seems the Chinese people were so used to and fond of living a simple routine life with as little action as possible that their prime curse for others was that they live in interesting times. Or, that is how the story goes. The actual origin of this particular 'curse' has yet to be proven to be in China, though there are indications.

In any case, the truth of it is that the interesting things and times in life keep us moving, learning and growing, so may you live in interesting times in this New Year.

By the way, another interesting wish / curse purported to be by the Chinese is: May you come to the attention of those in authority. Just goes to show how much the Chinese used to cherish their good old routines - or, it shows us something about Chinese authority!
And then there are other kinds of wishes as well. Such as this New Year poem by
Ella Wheeler Wilcoxer Wilcox:

What can be said in New Year rhymes,
That's not been said a thousand times?

The new years come, the old years go,
We know we dream, we dream we know.

We rise up laughing with the light,
We lie down weeping with the night.

We hug the world until it stings,
We curse it then and sigh for wings.

We live, we love, we woo, we wed,
We wreathe our prides, we sheet our dead.

We laugh, we weep, we hope, we fear,
And that's the burden of a year.
~ Ella Wheeler Wilcox ~

Or these nice ones:

May the love hidden deep inside your heart find the love waiting in your dreams. May the laughter that you find in your tomorrow wipe away the pain you find in your yesterdays.

May the peace and joy of the holiday season be with you throughout the coming year.ing year.
~ New Year Messages, Wishes, Sayings & Greetings ~

May someone love you enough to forgive your faults, be blind to your blemishes, and tell the world about your virtues ... and may you do the same for everyone around you.

Our New Year greetings and New Year messages are so filled with joy and hope at the beginning of the year, but so very often it all seems to kind of evaporate as the year drags on. In fact, it usually dissipates in the first few weeks of January.

But does it have to be like that? Of course not!
rse not!

It's all up to you ...

The single most important determinant of your life experience is your free will. Feel free to use it!
~ Soren Lauritzen ~, the Personal Development Guy

When you end up sabotaging your own New Year's resolutions it's primarily because of your subconscious. There are two main possibilities: a) you don't actually want what you think you want (your wish or resolution) and b) you do want your wish or resolution, but there's something conflicting that you want more.

And so, in the end, nothing comes of it, no real changes occur and everything inside you (and thus in your life) stays more or less the same. Until you decide otherwise - and act upon this decision.

May you choose this year to empower yourself.
~ Soren Lauritzen ~, the Personal Development Guy

The two best tools for personal empowerment is self examination which leads to self awareness and letting go, which leads to freedom, love, happiness and inner peace.
~ Soren Lauritzen ~, the Personal Development Guy

May you learn how to relax your troubled, overworked mind into presence and awareness, so you can detach from negative circumstances, and change your life for the better this year.

May you learn to cultivate the art of presence
In order to engage with those who meet you.

The springtime edge of the bleak question.
~ John O’Donahue ~

May you let go of a core belief this year and see the beauty and splendor of reality.
~ Soren Lauritzen ~, the Personal Development Guy

May you work on yourself,
Building up and refining the ways of your mind.

May you treasure the gifts of the mind
Through reading and creative thinking
So that you continue as a servant of the frontier
Where the new will draw its enrichment from the old,
And you never become a functionary.

May you have a mind that loves frontiers
So that you can evoke the bright fields
That lie beyond the view of the regular eye.
~ John O’Donahue ~

Not all New Year wishes need be in the second person singular (you), they might as well be in the second person singular (I). After all, when the New Year approaches, we all want things for ourselves as well, right?

I will seek elegance rather than luxury, refinement rather than fashion. I will seek to be worthy more than respectable, wealthy and not rich. I will study hard, think quietly, talk gently, and act frankly. I will listen to stars and birds, babes and sages, with an open heart. I will bear all things cheerfully, do all things bravely await occasions and hurry never. In a word I will let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious grow up through the common.hrough the common.
~ William Ellery Channing ~

Indian (Bangladesh) author, composer, artist, athlete, philosopher and spiritual teacher Chinmoy Kumar Ghose also known as Sri Chinmoy (1931-2007), who lived in the USA from 1964 and was known for holding public events (races, concerts and meditations) on the themes of inner peace and world harmony wrote some beautiful things, one of which this is a short extract that serves perfectly as one of the spiritual New Year wishes that you may have for yourself:

In the New Year, a new dawn is beckoning me.
I long to fly with my soul in Infinity’s sky.
I shall give and give and I shall not ask for anything in return in this New Year.
Inside a vastness-heart, I shall lose my little "I" in this New Year.
~ Sri Chinmoy ~

And finally, though nobody knows who said it, there's this generally applicable one:

In the new year I shall be older, and bolder, but none the wiser!
